New Stable Inn Demolished

A motel on Wilson Street in Brewer has come down.The New Stable Inn closed in late January after high winds tore off its roof.Earlier this week, city councilors voted to forgive about $45,000 in unpaid taxes and utility bills owed by the building’s former owner, Farhat Cheema of Massachusetts.After Cheema failed to pay his mortgage, Paul Means of Means Investments of Bangor wound up with the building.His son, Zach Means, watched on Wednesday as the inn was being torn down.Means says the fire department will eventually burn the building, then they’ll clear the lot and the land will go up for sale.
